I have never seen Any Ghost towns in the IE…
Even in the most remote locations.
Some parts of “Moreno Valley” are fairly close to industrial centers of L.A. (city of industry etc..)
No further out than and probably a lot closer than say Carlsbad is QCOM.
Maybe 10-15 miles down the 60 at most.
Also there are quite a few Industries and warehouses distribution centers in this corridor so there are a lot of blue collar and white collar Jobs that do pay enough to easily afford this.
Not everyone has to commute to San Diego.
There have been a lot of start-up IT firms in some of the better parts of the IE as well,
(HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!) trust me it’s possible.
